Quote of the day: VOTING

November 8, 2022

VOTING

When the haunted house catches fire:

 a moment of indecision.

The house was, after all, built on bones,

and blood, and bad intentions.

Everyone who enters the house feels

that overwhelming dread, the evil

that perhaps only fire can purge.

It’s tempting to just let it burn.

And then I remember:

there are children inside.

—Kyle Tran Myhre, “Voting as Fire Extinguisher”
